She's seen her star rise since appearing on Big Brother two years ago, and model Hazel O'Sullivan has revealed that her professional footballer beau would love to follow in her reality show footsteps.

The brunette beauty (26) started dating Tottenham Hotspur player Andros Townsend shortly after she appeared on the show in 2013 and said that it's a dream for her England star boyfriend to be a contestant on the show.

"Andros is a huge Big Brother fan, he loves it. He said one day that if he wasn't doing football he's love to do the celeb one," she told the Diary.

"He forces me to watch it - I did my series two years ago and he has made me watch everything since."

Before love blossomed between the pair, Hazel admitted she was nervous dating someone that had watched the show.

"He knew me when we went on our first date - he knew everything about me and what I was like, and I was trying to be all cute and put on an act," she said.

"He saw through it all.

"It was [daunting] in the sense that you can't really get away with any little white lies, or you can't make yourself out to be one way because they know what you're like."
